Oh, my God, these are yummy. Yes, I know they’re the East Coast equivalent of Ho Hos or Twinkies, but they’re

so

much

better.

My husband, who grew up on Peanut Butter Kandy Kakes, and has suffered withdrawals since we came home from vacation, has researched the possibility of buying a case. That’s 72 chocolate-peanutty pucks, with a shelf-life of 21 days, for $37.99. He’d have to eat 3.5 cakes a day.

“You gotta be joking,” I said.

“No,” came his reply.

You see, they’re not sold in Nevada. Not at the 7-Eleven nor CVS Pharmacy. Not anywhere. They’re back East in the Wawa. I kid you not. The Wawa. The store’s name is as funny as the cakes are delicious. Can you believe people in New Jersey actually say, without a shred of laughter in their voice: “I’m going to the Wawa. Do you need anything?”
